TAILORS-GOOSE ATTACHMENT. I

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 17, 1912. Serial No. 691,337.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THURMON H. TALLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing at Crow ell, in the county of Foard, State of Texas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Tailors-GooseAttachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the'art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in tailors goose, and hasparticular reference to an attachment to be applied thereto fordampening the cloth in advance of the goose.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a depressible anddetachable dampening means for the goose, and means supported above thedampening means for supplying water to the dampening means.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription and with particular reference to the accompany.

ing. drawings.

In the drawings; Figure 1 isa side elevation of a tailors goose havingmy attachment applied thereto, Fig. 2 is a top plan view, Fig. 3 is afront elevation, Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 44 of Fig. 3.

Referring particularly to the drawings, 10 represents a tailors goose,provided with the usual handle 11. posedin front of the handle justabove the body of the goose, and has the upwardly extending springfingers 14, and a central base portion which supports a tank 13 filledwith water. Extending forwardly from the lower portion of the bracket 12is a member 12'. I

An arm 16, formed of a single piece of sheet metal, is provided with theperforated ears 17 which embrace the' member 12 of the bracket 12, andreceive therethrough and through the member 12' a pivot pin 18, so thatsaid arm may move upwardly or downwardly. A coil spring 19 is secured atone end to the bracket 12, and has its other end secured to the arm 16,the tendency of the spring being to hold the arm normally in upwardposition. Secured to the lower end of the arm is an inverted cup 29, inwhich is held a s onge or other suitable piece of soft material. Anopening 30 I is formed in the upper side ofthe cup, and

so located with relation to the nozzle 15, that its opening receiveswater therefrom, when the arm is swung upwardly on the pivot 18.Pivotally mounted on each side of the member 12 is a clamp wing 20,which wing embraces the forward portion of the handle. Each of the wings20 has an outwardly bowed arm 31, formed on the end of each of which isa vertical operating stem 32, by means of which the wings may be swungout of engagement with the handle. Secured to the arms 31 is a bowedspring 33 which holds the arms in normal position with the wings 20 inengagement with the handle.

Formed integrally with one of the wings 20 is a tubular bearing 20'through which the stem 21 of an operating rod 23 passes, said rod havingon its upper end a button 22 disposed within convenient reach of thefinger and adjacent to the grip of the handle. This rod is fordepression of the arm 16 and has on its lower end a downwardly curvedextension, which is provided with an offset 24 engaged in an opening 25in the arm 16. The spring 19 normally holds the arm 16 upwardly with theabsorbent material in close proximity to the tank 13, and upondepression of the rod 23 the absorbent material will be lowered intocontact I with the cloth being pressed. A bracket 12 is dis- In thespout is arranged a valve 26 having a stem 27 projecting beyond theouter end of the spout or nozzle. A spring 28 bears with one end againstthe valve, and with its other against the upper wall of the spout, anopening being formed in the lower Patented May 6, 1913.

wall to receive the stem 27 therethrough and against the inner face ofwhich the valve is adapted to be normally seated to cut off the water.When the arm 16 moves into its upper position, it engages against thestem of the valve and pushes the same inwardly against the tension ofthe spring, so that water will flow from the spout on to the absorbentmaterial. When it is desired to moisten the clothto be pressed, the stem21 is pushed downwardly, which moves the arm 16 down so that theabsorbent material comes into engagement with the cloth and the moisturein the absorbent material is readily absorbed by the cloth.

The device is snnple in construction, and may be readily applied to thehandle of any sad iron, or tailors goose, and may be removedfrom onegoose and applied to'another with a great deal of ease.

'What is claimed is:

1. An attachment for a tailors goose,com-' prising a bracket detachablymounted on the material on its free end, a spring on the bracketengaging with the arm to throw the arm normally upward into engagementwith the stem of the valve, and an operating stem vertically slidablein-the bracket and connected with said arm, whereby upon depres sion ofthe operating'stem the arm will be moved downwardly to bring the.absorbent material in contact withthe cloth to. be moistened.

2. An attachment for a tailors goose com prising a bracket mounted onthe handle thereof, a water tank on the bracket, a member on the goose,a spring-actuated pivoted arm on the said member, absorbent material onthe free end thereof, said spring holding the arm normally upward, andoperating means connected to the arm for depressing the arm 3. Anattachment for a tailors goose, comprising a water receptacle having aspringpressed valve, a member mounted on the goose movable toward andaway from the spring-pressed valve, said member having absorbentmaterial thereon, said member being'disposed normally against said valveto receive water from the tank, and means for moving the absorbentmaterial into engagement with'the cloth being pressed.

In testimony whereof, I afiix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
